A couple ways, if it's s sump pump a float switch could be used with some simple logic to insure it turns back on after power outage, if it does not it can set alarm and send email. I believe you can also get current sensing power bars for a price that should be able to determine whether a pump is running properly or not. There's also many options for digital inputs but I don't know that much about it but realistically you could do it you wanted but it might be cheaper to buy better pumps .

You can also get notifications after power outages by email/text message and then check you system through web access, provided you have it all setup. Remote access would also allow you to turn off and on pumps to attempt remote restart.
